Leveraging RFID-Enhanced Networks for Ocean Cargo Visibility and Security: Vic Verma Chairman, President and CEO Savi Technology AIDC 100 "Truth in Technologies 2005: Supply Chain RFID"
Challenges to Supply Chain Efficiency • Supply Chains Have Become Increasingly Complex • Increasing Outsourced Off Shore Manufacturing • 20+ Entities Participate In The End-to-end Movement Of An Ocean Container • Shippers Vary Manufacturers & Service Providers For Best Price & Service • Carriers Vary Schedules And Routes For Maximum Efficiency • Security Issues Threaten Supply Chain Disruption • Potential For Weapon Of Mass Destruction Smuggled In Ocean Containers • Subsequent Impact To Global Commerce Would Be Significant • Anti-terrorism Regulations Increase Complexity And Costs • U.S. Initiatives • 24 Hour Manifest Rule, Seal Checks • International Initiatives • ISPS codes for ship and facility security • World Customs Organization
Recent Drivers Accelerating Change • US CBP expected to pass verification rule rollout to industry early next year • Driving collaboration among carriers, shippers, terminal operators and tech companies to finalize e-seal standards • Wal-Mart and DoD compliance continuing to next wave of suppliers • Driving companies to look for ways to gain value in international logistics operations • Source tagging growing as mechanism to comply • Bonner recent comments on Greenlane • December 31st goal to define benefits of use of “smart containers” • Standardization among allied militaries for global container tracking • IBM/Maersk joint initiative
